Hi guys, my name is Blair. My story started back in 1983 when I first read about the P-car coming out for 1984 in Car and Driver. As soon as I read about a mid-engine car from Pontiac with hot styling I had to have one. I ordered one as soon as I could from my local dealer in Calgary. They told me there would be a long waiting list but I didn't care. I ordered all of the options that I was interested in and waited. A few months later, the dealer called and said that there were delays and if I was willing to take another car in black, then I could likely get a car sooner. I had my heart set on red so I said no thanks. A few weeks later, I got another call from the dealer saying that he would like to take my red car if I was willing to take a black one since the demand for red was so high. Again, I turned them down. Finally, in January, I got the call I was waiting for. My car had arrived. I flew into the dealership that day and finished up the paperwork and finally got my car. It was a 1984 SE model. I kept that car for 4 years and loved every minute of it. In fact, I met my wife because of that car. A friend of mine had a friend who was looking for a guy to go out with. Her list included: a nice guy, tall, and with a red sports car. Immediately my friend thought of me and set me up on a blind date with her friend. 27 years later, we have been married for 25 years. All because of my red Fiero. If I would have accepted the black Fiero, I probably wouldn't have met my future wife. Funny how life works.

Thanks for your story. I still have the same wife but my 86 GT is not the same. I wonder what ever happened to my 84 SE?

Hmmmm....that is possible since mine did have the beige sheepskin seats. But mine was in Alberta so it would have had to make a big trip to end up here. Do you know where you bought it from or any of the past owner history?

Hmmm...I wonder if it was mine? Did it have a GT front end with a black Firebird spoiler on the back?
